grace, always. LLC

Who we are.

I founded grace, always. LLC. in honor of my brother, Dan Conley, who battled mental illness and died by suicide in February of 2023. Shortly after losing Dan, I knew I wanted to do everything I could to help anyone suffering with mental illness. Lessening the stigma of mental illness is a crucial step in addressing this issue, and I believe in sharing supportive messages and raising mental health awareness through any means possible.

Over the past year I often wondered if anything could have stopped the loss of Dan, and I began to think about grace. It’s easy in a fast-paced, high-pressure world to feel disappointment with our own actions or mistakes, and it’s equally as easy to become frustrated with the actions of others. I have continually wondered if others had shown Dan more grace, would things have turned out differently? Or, if Dan gave himself grace in tough times, would that have changed his fate? I will never know, but I believe in the power of grace, always. It was in this thought that grace, always. was created. With suicide rates continuing to rise, a movement that lends mental health support to those affected by mental health crises and also lessens the stigma of mental illness is needed.

What we hope to do with our mental health support hoodies and tees.

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), 54.7% of adults with a mental illness do not receive treatment which amounts to over 28 million individuals. At grace, always. LLC, we believe in extending and spreading the message of grace, always. One never truly knows what another person is experiencing so giving grace is being mindful of the battles others are fighting. Our goal is to continually design high-quality hoodies and tees that encourage, uplift, lessen the stigma of mental illness, and support others while sharing the importance of giving grace, always.

Why we do it.

Dan was a helper and one of his many selfless acts was to fund the memorial service for a little boy who tragically passed away. To continue Dan’s legacy of helping others in the hardest of times, a large portion of grace, always. LLC’s merchandise sales will be donated. By purchasing from grace, always. you are not only spreading positive reminders and support, but your purchase is helping to prevent suicide with proceeds being donated the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and also to families impacted by mental health crises. Every time you wear or see a grace, always. hoodie or tee, it is our hope that you are reminded to give yourself grace and to extend grace, always.

Thank you for supporting the movement of grace, always.
